Hey, I'm looking for a rare optoelectronic part released only in Japan. It's a phototransistor from toshiba, they've got good detection characteristics. Anybody could look at their local denki store and see if they've got : TPS601A (F)? I'd need about 6 pcs. I need it for a micromouse I'm building.
do you know the common electronic devices they are found in? because you could just buy the device on ebay and harvest the part
There are a few electronic component stores in Akihabara and the like, which is probably what he meant...
Yeah - top-notch micromouse robots Anyone willing to do the trip to your local electronic store?;p Or are there any online distributor shops in Japan (like farnell or digikey) that I could browse?
Even Akiba (Akihabara) is not anymore the best way to find rares video games , this is probably the best place to find electronics parts and often really cheap
I think it is still the best (= fastest) way to find rare video games, but certainly not the cheapest way.
What the australian lager are you talking about? Did you reply in the wrong thread? The subject was about electronic components and not games, I just suggested that Akihabara was probably the best place as there are still a large number of electronic shops there, it's not all video games and maid cafes you know.
Does posts has to be stuck on their initial subjects ? I replied to the question and by talking about Akiba i enjoyed to bring additionnal informations if it cans help somebody. Sorry if i hurt your "sensibility"... About maids coffee you're the only one who talked about it and honestly i really don't need and care about this kind of stuff.
Sp!nz, Yes it does, You've done whats known as 'going off-topic'. One thread is made to discuss one thing, that's how forums work. Welcome to the internet!
So it looks my post disturbs even it has been done in good intentions , i edit... Sorry for the inconvenience
Back on topic... There is an electronic shop in Akihabara that did have these in stock, sadly I was in a rush and had no spare money, but if you can convince someone to go then they should go here... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...39.769327&sspn=0.001651,0.003449&ie=UTF8&z=16
thanks at least for checking that out I see that leocom.jp is the JP farnell alternative, and they have them in stock. But having 5 of them shipped to me would be like 30$, so I'll just pass for now
